It’s Friday, January 23, 2026, and if you’ve been waiting for a phone that’s basically a “supercar” in your pocket, Motorola just pulled the curtains back on the Motorola Signature in India.
The thing is, this isn’t just another edge-series rebrand. It’s an ongoing situation where Motorola is trying to reclaim the “ultra-premium” throne, and they’re doing it with a spec sheet that honestly looks like a fever dream. Or nothing.

The “Signature” Launch: Field Notes
It was a big afternoon for Moto. Here’s the ground reality of what was just made official for the Indian market:
-
The Pricing Curveball: The leaks were close, but the official starting price is actually ₹59,999 for the 12GB/256GB base. The thing is, they’ve also got a massive 16GB/1TB beast priced at ₹69,999. Let’s be real—undercutting the OnePlus 15 by that much is a bold move. Those too.
-
The “Gen 5” Power: This is the big kicker. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Or nothing. Motorola is claiming AnTuTu scores that would make your current laptop sweat.
-
The Sleekest Flagship: At just 6.99mm thick, it’s ridiculously thin for a phone with a 5,200mAh battery. The thing is, they’re using “Silicon Carbon” battery tech to keep it that slim without sacrificing the juice.
-
The “Club” Perks: They’re launching a Signature Club service. If you buy the phone, you get a “live agent” lifestyle support—concierge stuff for travel and dining. It’s an ongoing situation where they’re trying to sell a “lifestyle” rather than just a slab of glass.
-
Software Longevity: They’ve promised 7 years of OS and security updates starting with Android 16. Let’s be real—by 2033, this phone might be in a museum, but it’ll still be getting patches.

And Here’s the Kicker…
The thing is, the camera supports 8K Dolby Vision recording. Let’s be real—most people don’t even have 8K TVs yet, but if you want to film your cat in cinematic resolution, this is it. Those too. The display also features “Smart Water Touch,” which means you can actually use it while standing in the rain. Given the weird weather we’ve had this week, that’s actually useful.
One side comment—the phone goes on sale January 30th on Flipkart. If you use an HDFC or Axis card, you can knock another ₹5,000 off that price. Or nothing.
